RichardK Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I haven't bought it, I traded it for some stuff and I'm not entirely sure I want it, but I'm definitely curious... It's green. It was made in Britain in 2004. It's got 12 months MoT. It does about 25mpg as far as I can tell. It has four doors. It has leather seats. It's got a CD player.

RoadworkUK Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 S-Type has been taken so I'll go with X-Type. I've often been intrigued by the idea of a 3.0 V6 I have to admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardK Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 S-type is basically a Scorpio with an even uglier interior and a fierce propensity for rust, IIRC... not my taste, X-type has wrong driven wheels... My feet don't fit in Rover 75/MGs with the correct driven wheels - but neither of those are my taste... Shite Ron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardK Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Observations: Visibility is much better than I expected. Even with 182K it feels surprisingly good and tight to drive. Gearbox has behaved for 40 miles. Bonnet opens the wrong way. Boot is worryingly spacious for a Jaguar (previous Jag experience is limited). I need a passenger mirror and they're hideously expensive on eBay. I really would probably prefer something more 'me' like an HR-V or Volvo RWD estate, but I am liking this much more than I expected to* *before paying for any parts, driving it any distance, or getting to the bottom of the low coolant warning.

It was thought the key hole David Frost "the clues were there" but I get what you mean. It does look good, I've always fancied one, I'd check that front subframe as it's been an advisory on the mot for the off side. I reckon it would roffle well if you go bored.

I have been told of this, and the other advisories that I checked before it passed the MoT (I'm still curious about the mirror, but maybe it was stable enough to be okay). Sort of thing where I wonder how much work it is to swap over a subframe after properly rust-proofing vs. repairing in situ, but none of these are relevant to me because at the very most it will sit around going nowhere far while I accept it is a cheap Jag and just mess with it. Otherwise I will find out if anyone wants it more than I do. Probably before I've removed the warped mesh from the grille and installed slatted original style bars which I think would be right for an XJ6 at this age, and added a Leaper because I like them and I don't care if people on twitter get upset thinking about all the pedestrians I'll spear. After all, the white beast is essentially what I want to buy next year - running over pedestrians isn't part of my plan so I don't need to worry what the vehicle will do to them. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
